TU’s Land Protection Project accelerates permanent protection of coldwater resources by (1) engaging sportsmen and women as advocates and supporters of land protection and restoration; (2) working with land trusts and grassroots to prioritize and permanently protect high quality trout and salmon streams; (3) bringing resources to the table such as the Conservation Success Index and the Coldwater Land Conservancy Fund for land transaction costs, and (4) reconnecting and restoring aquatic habitat on protected lands.
